      I'm one of your patrons and was directed to this video from Patreon. I totally hear what you are saying about join up and "racing them around to tire them out". I am restarting a 6 year old draft-cross paint. He was sent to me because he was very dominant at home, bullying the owners other horses even as she was around to the point where he was dangerous. I did do a join-up/catching game inspired exercise with him to get him to accept my leadership. I did this in a wide open area, with his pasture mate present. It wasn't about tiring him out, but simply about moving his feet. Here's the link to that session if you are interested in watching a paint dry🤪 : czcams.com/video/xMzWq7Rmn1M/video.html
      It was a successful session because the next day I did a similar exercise and it took next to nothing for him to stick to me like glue. I still have to upload that session and I will link it to the video 👆. I'll likely edit my journey with him so far, for you to evaluate as part of my Patreon benefits.

    Things I check for in a new horse (or rather, things I usually have to teach a new horse!) by order of importance would be: Can they stand quietly next to me on a loose lead? Can they be touched all over while standing quietly? Do they face up to me if I move around at liberty? Those 3 things are the basis for catching, handling feet etc. Then after that: Do they understand and give to pressure on the lead? Flexing their head side to side. Yielding shoulders and hindquarters, respecting space. Lowering their head, backing. Desensitizing to scary objects, swinging ropes, fly spray, tarps. If you have a horse that does all that, nothing else will be too much of a problem

    I ran a TB breeding farm, growing young steeplechasers. I never sheltered the horses from anything. They were use to the ATV, tractors dogs and children. It was nothing for the dogs to chase a rat through the loose barn and the youngsters not move at all.
    In the UK we frequently feed haulage which is wrapped in polythene. One day the youngsters pulled one of these large wraps into their pen. I went to pick it up and they were pulling on it. I just threw the whole thing over two yearlings with a weaner foal between them and none flinched at all. It surprised me that there wasn’t a reaction.

    @MaxNafeHorsemanship Před rokem +6

    I'm big on safety. I have often said (including in a few videos) the good training is a safety issue. A well trained horse is always much safer to handle. Thank you for repeating that thought near the beginning of this video. At my age I don't want to risk injury, so I train them to be safe. You still have to watch out for that "other" horse when you are out in the pasture. Now, what would I look for in a horse and what tests would I do... I would make sure it has four legs and a tail. LOL. I don't really care. I pay as, and assume the horse knows nothing, and train the horse I get. It is a challenge to me to meet the horse where it is and make a good horse out of any horse I get. Just because it is born with an odd personality doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a good home.

I know that I'm a natural with horses, but even I need training as I learn better techniques. I watch you as much as I watch the horse you're training. Thank you for sharing Ryan. I brought home two 5 year old mares a few weeks ago. I study your videos a ton so I don't miss a step. I'm always afraid I'll put holes in there training, so I like to go over previous videos from you to check if I forgot anything. Much thx from a girl who just loves horses.

    Excellent evaluation and clear explanations of WHY you are doing what you are doing. I have a 4 year old mare that is at the extreme of a left-brain dominant horse. Will go over/through any obstacle and as a two year old, taught herself to herd goats (that her pasture mates were afraid of). One time an alpaca challenged her at the gate, and when she told him "move off, it's time for me to come in and have dinner," the alpaca spit in her face! What did she do? She pinned her ears and chased him off! Obviously this kind of horse offers different challenges in training. I wouldn't say they are easier...just different! If you can point to a video where you address this type of horse I'd be very much interested. (I just subscribed to your Patreon channel and posted a more extended version of this question there.)

      Sounds like you were doing what you have to do to get a great horse. The lady that has this horse just wants it fully trained and ready to go right now. But she hasn't put any work into it. And you know darn well she won't put any work into it after the horse is trained either. So she doesn't ride this horse and interact with it often. It's gonna go right back to its old habits because it's a horse. And a smart one too. I love this horse. This horse has so much potential. I just hope it's not wasted on this lady. Sounds like she has kids, so maybe that will help, maybe the kids will get into the horse. I just hope the horse has a good happy life. But people don't always realize that that takes time and effort.

    Backing. Its my favorite thing to do. I use it the similarly to the way you use sidepassing. Its easier to teach a new horse than a side pass, tells me how sensitive they are, gives me a better view of the ears and eyes and not a normal movement so they kind of have to think about what youre asking and where theyre going.

    I learned to ask the owner what they know, then test that right in front of them. Also, when I got my gelding who was my first, seller wouldn’t allow a test ride, and claimed it’s normal for some horses to be so against trailering that they won’t get in. I have obviously educated myself since then but he sold me a horse that I had to completely restart on my own. He bucked my wife on his first ride and that’s when we knew we’d been blatantly lied to. I have since got him quiet and easy using knowledge I gained mainly from a mix of you and Clinton Anderson. You each have great information that has completely changed my horses temperament and I’ve ridden him 3 times now. It’s not a perfect situation since I’m a novice and he’s far greener than we were told but we’re learning together and it’s thanks to this information.

  • @sassy6292
    @sassy6292 Před rokem +1

    Nice video:)! Yesterday I had a thought about leading a horse while I was leading mine. We just finished a free lunge session and I walked her around the arena a few times talking at her about horse things. During a lull in the one sided conversation I tried to lead her from her right side. She just won’t have it. If I lead her by walking ahead of her she is good with following directly behind me. My first thought was to do more leading on the right side but then I thought about our showmanship training days. We are very much programmed to do the leading thing in a regimented way so it probably is not a great idea to begin to unravel all of that work just so the horse will lead from both sides. I figure that if she is balanced during saddle work and ground work at lunge and long line, then it’s not a huge deal and probably would be a counter productive exercise to insist on leading from both sides. My mare is very well trained and her training lasted many years so who am I to bother her with undoing all of that for very little gain. So this is the difference in the handling of a finished horse as opposed to a starting horse. After they have been through it all and have proven that they are committed to the program it’s ok to relax in some areas but with caution and loads of forethought. I look forward to your thoughts on this. Thanks and also a big !!!WAY TO GO!!! that the fund raiser went well. That’s awesome!!

And you seem to also know that because she is just learning at 5 to be ridden by a person what she will need to make her a good horse for the RIGHT person (aka) family to own! I'm going to go watch the one I can see of her bucking... cause now I'm real curious to know about her progress over the last yr?

    At 20 minutes in when you added pressure by making more energetic movements and she tried to kick and leave you calmly said no that is not acceptable. She was also “tired”, at least she thought so. She has probably an “I am done because this is longer than what I usually do”, mentality. People don’t realize they teach a length of time to their horses, when someone then comes in and asks them to focus longer than that established time they can get dull and sullen. For example warming up a horse you consistently lope 3 circles both directions and then stop they get to that 3rd circle and are ready to be done. I see a difference between mares and geldings in these situations many times. Not always but some. 😉 Appreciate your vlogs Ryan and the way you approach horses. We have improved In thinking that a horse has to be “tired”. Totally agree to finding out where the horse is and then see which direction/method is to be used.

    Not only is she a gorgeous girl, the reference to Mars Needs Mom's is hilarious.
    I still pronounce vacuum this way.

    I caught you on CZcams. Have you ever considered getting your older calves into a barn with stalls and/or stanchions? It is true that it is still difficult I think it is less stressful all around.

    Favorite prospective horse evaluations: Some combination of exercises I ask the current owner or handler to do while I watch. I would always ask the current owner/handler to lift up and clean the horse's hooves - and let them know they can do whatever they want in terms of prep for that, but I want to see that while watching the big picture. Bottom line, I can't tell you how many times I've just walked on deals in five minutes when that request turns into a clown show almost immediately. Unless I'm doing charity work, I'm not concerned that it's not the horse's fault, because I know it isn't, but for the most part I'm not interested in acquiring, certainly not paying for, some problems created by the current or prior owners/handlers. I'll let them continue owning that or let them grift someone else into that - not me. I was born at night but not last night. The name's just straight Franklin, not St. Franklin, when it comes to paying for something.
    Piece of advice I've learned and adapted from my elders: If you can float it, fly it, fu@k it, or ride it, rent it.

    Love watching your evaluation videos. So helpful to know how to find the holes in training.

    So good you are great at explaining and going slow but firm, but wish you would get the halter up tighter as it could hurt her if she steps on rope hard. She already got it stuck in her mouth.

    I've been watching and learning as much as I can absorb since 2005. My little training hobby has turned into a small business. My approach to training is very much parallel to yours. However, I've expanded my methods to include "threshold awareness", i.e., to approach the threshold of discomfort and retreat.... then re-approach and widen the horse's threshold incrementally. I'm having really nice results doing this. It seems that the horses develop trust more quickly and deeply. They notice that I notice their discomfort, and am willing to take my time; thereby, encouraging their confidence in my leadership ability. Your thoughts?

    My husband and I switched from gaited horses to draft and draft crosses, and we are so happy we did. I find most of them have this same kind of personality. Wyllow is lovely! What I look for in a horse I'm going to buy: Can I touch her all over, or at least everywhere above the knees? Will she lead in general and give me attention if I ask, even if she's worried or distracted? If she's standing quietly, can I pick up her feet? Most importantly: is there a brain between those ears? My most recent purchase, a Belgian/Halflinger cross, was very nervous when I first met her, but I saw in her that there was a good horse that just needs time and some refresher training. So far, it's working out great!

    I noticed some people use good boy words. Instead of releasing the rope or releasing the reins.

    I agree with the "Join up method", I don't like that word. I think everyone has a different focus but right what you said, is you didnt have to run her around in circles. You kind of pin pointed or narrowed down something to work on and sometimes horses that are nervious, like hotter breeds the more nervious they are the more energy they get lols, so giving their mind something to focus on helps I think.

    I know absolutely nothing Bput horses. This is most enlightening to me. But, thinking it would be helpful to exercise a horse until tired reminds me of The dog whisperer..... Maybe others are thinking "that way". Love the videos....wish I knew how to ride, but they do scares me. I am a pushover!
